Neptune in Sagittarius

Neptune: The Mystic

Neptune is the god of the oceans. In dreams and myth water and the ocean are symbolic of a formless realm from which new life may emerge. When we are lost we say that we ‘at sea’. Yet, in the depths we may also find ourselves. The Christian process of baptism requires an immersion in water so that one may be reborn into the glory of God. Psychologically, Neptune relates to our ability to go beyond ourselves. Neptune is our religious or spiritual urge – the desire to transcend our individuality and experience the oneness of life. In losing our sense of self, we are born to a whole new world.
